Denham Abotts

Denham Abbots is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with an early 17th-century extension and early 19th-century remodelling. The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring a 17th-century parlour cross-wing that forms a T-plan. It is timber-framed and hung with plaintiles. The roof is also covered with plaintiles and includes axial chimneys from the 17th century; the main range chimney has 19th-century diagonally-set square flues on a square 17th-century base, while the parlour wing chimney has a similar design but with an octagonal base.

The house features early 19th-century casements and sash windows with small panes, as well as a lean-to entrance porch with a plaintiled roof and a 20th-century glazed door. The cross-wing jetties out at the first and second floors on the west side, supported by ogee-moulded fascia-bressummers on knee-braces. The main range from the 16th century has heavy, unmoulded timber-framing and likely includes a cross-passage entry at the north end. The roof has been rebuilt using rafters, some of which are sooted, from a medieval coupled-rafter roof. The parlour wing, built around 1600, has two storeys with attics, featuring ovolo-moulded bridging joists and a wind-braced clasped-purlin roof.
